In areas where net metering is available, the answer is yes. Net metering is a process that slows your electric meter down or even spins it backwards when your solar power system generates excess power. A typical home solar power system generates more power than a home uses during the day. Under net metering schemes, that excess electricity is fed into the grid. The homeowner is then given credit for the value of that power. That credit will either reduce future bills or be paid directly to the homeowner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lo que debe saber<\/strong>: La medici\u00f3n neta no se ofrece en todos los estados ni en todas las \u00e1reas de servicio de las compa\u00f1\u00edas el\u00e9ctricas. Debes consultar a tu compa\u00f1\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica local para ver qu\u00e9 programas ofrecen para los sistemas de energ\u00eda solar dom\u00e9sticos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-net-metering\" data-block-type=\"core\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 es la medici\u00f3n neta?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>La medici\u00f3n neta acredita a los propietarios de sistemas de energ\u00eda solar por la electricidad que suministran a la red. Naturalmente, un sistema de energ\u00eda solar en la azotea no proporciona energ\u00eda por la noche, por lo que el propietario del sistema obtiene electricidad de la red por la noche. La idea detr\u00e1s de la medici\u00f3n neta es que el sistema del cliente produzca suficiente electricidad durante el d\u00eda para cubrir el costo de la electricidad utilizada por la noche. Luego, el cliente paga la diferencia neta entre la cantidad de energ\u00eda que utiliz\u00f3 y la que gener\u00f3. El objetivo de la medici\u00f3n neta es producir tanta energ\u00eda como consume, o m\u00e1s.&nbsp;<em>diferencia neta<\/em>&nbsp;entre la cantidad de electricidad que ha utilizado y la que ha generado. El objetivo de la medici\u00f3n neta es producir tanta energ\u00eda como se consume, o m\u00e1s. Eso puede reducir o eliminar su factura el\u00e9ctrica. Si se suministra m\u00e1s energ\u00eda de la que se utiliza, se obtiene un cr\u00e9dito en la factura por el exceso. Por t\u00e9rmino medio, s\u00f3lo entre el 20% y el 40% de la energ\u00eda producida por un sistema de energ\u00eda solar en el tejado de una casa se devuelve a la red.<br>(fuente:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.seia.org\/initiatives\/net-metering\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.seia.org\/initiatives\/net-metering<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-is-net-metering-available\" data-block-type=\"core\">\u00bfD\u00f3nde est\u00e1 disponible la medici\u00f3n neta?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>La medici\u00f3n neta est\u00e1 disponible en 38 estados, adem\u00e1s de Samoa Americana, Puerto Rico y las Islas V\u00edrgenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"766\" src=\"https:\/\/brighterainc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSIRE_Net_Metering_November2017-1024x766-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brighterainc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSIRE_Net_Metering_November2017-1024x766-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/brighterainc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSIRE_Net_Metering_November2017-1024x766-1-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/brighterainc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSIRE_Net_Metering_November2017-1024x766-1-768x575.png 768w, https:\/\/brighterainc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSIRE_Net_Metering_November2017-1024x766-1-16x12.png 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Estados en los que est\u00e1 disponible la medici\u00f3n neta.

Your solar power system naturally produces more power in the summer than it does in the winter. Because of that seasonal variation in power production, you can expect to produce more power than you need during the summer. Likewise, during the winter you will likely use more power than your system produces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Durante los meses en los que su sistema produce m\u00e1s energ\u00eda de la que consume, obtendr\u00e1 cr\u00e9ditos en la factura de su compa\u00f1\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica que se \"acumulan\" en meses posteriores. Los cr\u00e9ditos se acumulan durante la primavera y el verano. Estos cr\u00e9ditos se utilizan gradualmente para pagar la energ\u00eda que se consume durante el oto\u00f1o y el invierno. Si al final del a\u00f1o le sobran cr\u00e9ditos en la factura, la compa\u00f1\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica le enviar\u00e1 un cheque por el importe de esos cr\u00e9ditos. As\u00ed, el objetivo es intentar eliminar su factura el\u00e9ctrica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-only-way-net-metering-can-fail\" data-block-type=\"core\">La \u00fanica manera en que la medici\u00f3n neta puede fallar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Los sistemas de energ\u00eda solar dom\u00e9sticos son fiables y necesitan muy poco mantenimiento. Pero los sistemas de energ\u00eda solar no son perfectos, pueden dejar de generar energ\u00eda. Si no supervisas continuamente tu sistema, podr\u00eda dejar de producir energ\u00eda, y no lo sabr\u00edas hasta que recibieras una factura el\u00e9ctrica inesperadamente elevada. Si esto ocurriera, perder\u00eda la energ\u00eda que su sistema hubiera producido mientras estaba parado.
